Slide 1

Welcome

Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Arithmetic Operations in Java.
Slide 2

Learning Outcomes

In this tutorial, you will learn about the various Arithmetic Operations namely

Addition

Subtraction

Multiplication

Division and

How to use them.

Slide 3

Tools Used

For this tutorial we are using

Ubuntu 11.10,

JDK 1.6 and

Eclipse 3.7.

Slide 4

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial you must have eclipse installed in your system
and you must  know how to create, save and run a file in Eclipse.


If not, for relevant tutorial please visit our website as shown.

Slide 5

Operators

Here is a list of operators and the mathematical operations they perform


  • plus symbol for addition
  • minus for subtraction
  • asterisk for multiplication
  • front slash for division

We shall look at each of them in detail.

Minimize Slides and open Eclipse

Eclipse should contain the following code

public class ArithmeticOperations{

public static void main(String[] args){

}

}

Here We have Eclipse IDE and the skeleton required for the rest of the code.


We have created a class by name ArithmeticOperations and added the main method.


Let us add some variables.

Type in main method

int x = 5;

int y = 10;

int result;

int x = 5;

'int y = 10; print result


x and y will be the operands and the result will store the output of operations.

Type in main method

result = x + y;

System.out.println(result);

Let us add them and print the result. Result= x+y; system. out. println 'in parantesis result



Save and Run. 'Save it with ControlS and contron F11 to Run


Point to output. We see, that the output of addition is stored and the value has been printed
Change x = 5 to x = 75 and y = 10 to y = 15 Now Let us change the values .

x=75,y = 15


Save and Run. Save it Run
Point to output we see the output has been changes accordingly
Change y = 15 to y = -25. Now let us try negative values. 'y = -25.


Save and Run. Save Run.
Point to output we see that the output of 75 plus of -25 has been printed
Change y = -25 to y = 5 and x + y to x – y


Now let us try subtraction. 'y = 5 and change x+y to x-y


Save and Run. Save it Run.
Point to output we see that the output of 75-5 has been printed,
Change x – y to x * y Now Let us try the multiplication. Change minus to asterisk


Save and Run. Save Run.
Point to output we see that by using asterisk we could multiply 75*5. .
Change x * y to x / y


Now let us try division Remove asteriskand type slash

The front slash symbol is used to perform division.

Save and Run. Save it Run.
Point to output As we can see, the output is as expected.
Change y = 5 to y = 10


Now let us see what happens when the expected result is a decimal point number.


Change 5 to 10


The result must be 7.5.

So let us change the result to a float.



Save it Run.

Point to output.

Note that although the expected result is 7.5, we get output as 7.0
Point to the operands. This is because both the operands involved in the division are integers.
Change y = 10 to y = 10f Let us change y to a float. y=10f


Save and Run. Point to output. Save Run.


Now we can see that the result is as expected.


Keep in mind that when the expected result is a float, one of the operands must be a float to get the expected output.

Remove everything inside the main function, except the print line and add the following, before

Int result = 8 + 4 – 2;


Now let us see what happens when there is more than one operator.Remove all the operands
Save and Run.


Point to output

int result= 8+4-2. Save it run


As we can see, the output is as expected.

Change 8 + 4 – 2 to 8 + 4 / 2


Save and Run.


Point to output

Now Change minus to a s lash


Now the output would be 6 if the addition is done before division.


Or it would be 10 if division is done before addition.


Let us Run and see the output.


As we can see, the output is 10 and the division is done before addition. This is because the division operator has more precedence than the addition operator.


In such situations, if we need to override the precedence, we use parentheses.

Change 8 + 4 / 2 to (8 + 4) / 2


Save and Run.


Point to output

By adding parentheses, we instruct Java to do the addition before the division.


Let us run the file now.


As we can see, addition has been performed first and the output is 6 as expected.


As a rule, keep in mind to use parentheses when the order of operations is not clear.

Minimize the Eclipse window and switch to slides.


Slide 6

Summary

This brings us to the end of this tutorial.

How to perform basic mathematical operations in Java.

About operator precedence, and,

How to override it.
